This week we are trying something different and doing a deep dive into what is going on for a home ed family right now, with a Day in the Life interview.* Kate from this here website was willing to play guinea pig, given that she had already done the standard interview in episode 7 (and 25) of the podcast. You can read all of Kate’s contributions to the blog here. (*That said, we’re still doing the standard interviews that are the backbone this podcast. But they are mostly about the why of home education, and it’s nice to get stuck into the how as well, so we’re going a do a mixture of the two, with some special episodes added into the mix for good measure.)

How to have a December with minimum overwhelm: Many families are celebrating a variety of festivals over December and trying to add seasonal festivities on top of a full home ed life is likely to result in overwhelm. Here are some things you can do to keep things calm(er): Know your own family – can they handle a shift in routine? think about what you need to do to keep things on an even keel. More time outdoors? More time to play and follow their own interests? More family time? Know that it’s ok to cut stuff out for a month and pear everything back to the things that are most important to you. Making space is important. spend a set amount of time researching things you might do together that can double as presents for family and friends (old enough to bake? old enough to decorate biscuits? make decorations? make small gifts?) don’t go overboard. Plan for maybe 6 activities over december, and know that social media will probably inspire you further if you exhaust those 6. supplement with familiar activities you can make seasonal – playdough and cutters, freezing wintery animals in ice and letting them break it up outside, colouring sheets, decorating a dolls house or play structure. You don’t have to do all the things. Let your children take their time, and come back to something a number of times rather than pushing through a whole series of activities. read together – welcome back your festive and winter books like old friends –  use your library! Play christmas audiobooks while they play or craft, share films with your children that you love, rewatch winter themed episodes of kids shows that you have enjoyed in the past. sing songs, and carols – especially useful for younger children who don’t have the reading fluency to sight-read lyrics, and listen to festive music together help children to give to others over the holiday season by giving them the opportunity to take charge of shopping for items for your local food bank, and clear out some toys or games they have finished with to give to local charity shops spend time in nature and see how winter is changing the environment around you seek out christmas lights, either in your local town center or decorating people’s houses. You don’t have to be out late to see houses lit up in the dark. don’t burn the candle at both ends – get plenty of sleep and rest, and prioritize family culture over busywork.  The post Home Ed Voices Podcast – (Season 2) Episode 24 End of Season 2 & Avoiding December Overwhelm appeared first on Home Ed Voices.
